    Setting up a home lab

    Hey guys, I'm looking into setting up a home lab, but I'm not sure what hardware to go with yet exactly. First off I'm looking for something simple, just one server for now to start with (we always add later right?). I'm going to run VMware on it since we are going to be virtualizing at work in...

    Shutdown during BIOS update on Toshiba laptop

    So my friend was having issues, the laptop (Satelite L655-S5146) would shutdown randomly. Some days the laptop would stay on for hours, sometimes only 10 minutes. The laptop never overheated or got hot according to the toshiba health monitor and the fan was working properly. I was going through...

    Creating a website

    R9 290x black screen

    I just went from a 8800GTS to a Gigabyte 280X. Occasionally just in Windows I have a black screen that flashes, it's not constant but is consistent, it will happen every 2-3 seconds. I can usually reboot and the problem goes away. If I start up BF4 the problem also goes away. This doesn't seem...

    Gigabyte Radeon R9 290 $385.91 + tax AC Newegg

    Well that sucks. I just bought a 280 a week ago. For $80 more it would've definitely been worth going to the 290!

    Certifications for those just starting out? (ccent, A+, MCSE)?

    I started out at a 2 year college and was able to obtain a full time salary position at an automotive parts manufacturing factory with just my Associates degree as an IT Systems Specialist and my Network+ Certificate.

    New system recommendation

    Sorry, I just updated the original post, the PSU should be good, it's a Coolermaster Real Power Pro 1000w PSU that I got with my case originally a few years back. I don't plan on running at a very high resolution, atleast for awhile. I have a 18.5" widescreen that max'es out at 1440x768...

    WTB: Cheap Proc/Mobo combo

    An old Athlon XP or Pentium 4 S478 or something equivalent would be efficient. I just need 1GB of Memory and a 1.5Ghz processor for this to work properly, and I would like onboard video, if not I do have some old cards that would work fine. Case and PSU won't be needed, I have a few spares of...
